In ancient times, this was the old Lancaster Mall (#1). My fond memories of being here as a…read moreyoungster have come full circle, as I came back here recently to see it as the semi-newly branded Willamette Town Center. If this is Lancaster Mall 2.0, it looks the part. The feel on the other hand, is a whole 'nother story. Willamette Town Center got hit pretty hard by the pandemic. Minus the clean, super bright, and modern digs, it is on the verge of becoming a dead mall. There are empty storefronts, almost zero activity on a weekend, and one of the saddest food courts I've seen in a mall. What was once a bustling place of Salem's retail seekers, has become a shell of itself. The only things filling up the parking lot are the stores directly outside of the mall. This place needed a facelift decades ago, but it seems the renovation came just a little too late. Timing is never good and even as Salem changes, it stays the same in many ways. One positive note: I was initially sad to see the Orange Julius location replaced by Burlington Coat Factory (#2) but realized it simply moved to the food court. It really has been the mall's most constant business.

In the actual "mall" area you have Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and other mainstream shops- in the center's map they also list the neighboring businesses like McGrath's Fish House and the DMV. While it's not a huge mall, it does have some great anchor stores and nearby conveniences (Target is across the street!) that it's an ideal spot to get your shop on. They had a very nice Christmas tree on display and parking is free and easy. Do remember to bring your reusable bags or pay 5 cents per bag (new law). Glad to see they are adding new stores and keeping up with the retail trends.

I got a 3 pack of glass bottled apple cider for $6 [a steal] 2 bulk boxes of 30 granola bars for $9 EACH [that's cheap as heck] and a pair of dress pants in a plus size for $12.

When Steve and I were in Salem recently we had the primary purpose of going to a museum but it…read moredidn't open too early in the day so we had plenty of time to kill by seeing some of the other things that the town had to offer. We noticed that Salem had a public market and thought that would be a good way to get some local flavor and a good way to let the time pass up until the museum opened. This public market is not outside but instead inside a small building. Despite the size of the building there are a fair amount of local vendors that are in here. Some I really was impressed with. There was a guy that had us sample some of his homemade beef jerky that was very good, a plant vendor that sculpted air type plants into things making very cute dioramas with them. My favorite was a hand crafted soap vendor and I wound up buying several bars of soap from her. The fragrances were great and she made them very pleasing to the eye as well with fancy waves at one end on a bar of soap with hints of what looked like glitter. Very nice. This public market was unexpectedly fun and was a perfect morning stop to make!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with beautiful décor that gives off relaxed summer vibes with just the right touch of luxury. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and the staff are some of the friendliest people you'll meet. As someone who's sensitive to caffeine, I was beyond excited to discover their mushroom coffee. It gave me clean, sustained energy without the jitters, and it actually supports your body instead of just waking you up. I was genuinely impressed! And let's talk about the food! If you've been wishing Salem had more authentic international cuisine, you're in for a treat. They serve delicious Haitian favorites, including Haitian patties and Freedom Soup, so I no longer have to drive an hour just to satisfy those cravings. Healthy, flavorful, unique, and absolutely worth the visit. Great drinks, amazing food, exotic flavors, wonderful people, and an incredible atmosphere. This place gets a **10/10** from me, and I'll definitely be back. If you're in the Salem/Keizer area, do yourself a favor and check it out!
